The vessel named Severnaya Duina (TSHD 2000) belongs to the Russian state-owned port services company Rosmorport. The vessel is 80.35m long and 16.2m wide with a gross tonnage of 2,700.

It was built with specific equipment and supplies that can meet the requirements of special operations and withstand the cold climate in Russia as well as other European countries.

The successful building of TSHD 2000 not only demonstrated Song Thu's competence and experience in building specialised vessels, but also ushered in a new direction for the company, expanding exports to international markets.
